Find out what your peers are saying about Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic and others in Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability."The most valuable feature is the solutions overall performance. It is very efficient and accurate for our usage."
"Enables dynamic injections from within the product which is great."
"It is a wonderful monitoring tool that manages various aspects such as system resources (CPU, RAM), mobile performance, and infrastructure monitoring."
"AppDynamics' most valuable feature is Business iQ, which is based on analytics."
"This is a stable product and we definitely plan to continue using it in the future."
"It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"It helped to find quick solutions for specific business transactions."
"The SAP monitoring element is very helpful."
"In AppDynamics, everywhere I go, there's some sort of grouping and aggregation function, or there's some sort of timeline that lets me zero in more quickly on the traces that I need. They go to more pains to aggregate and bubble the important ones to the top. That removes a lot of manual work."
"I find troubleshooting is quicker because we can drill down into the end points and see which endpoints are getting critical. Visibility-wise, the micro details are easy to find."
"The end-to-end distributor tracing connectivity isn't there."
"In the next release, I would like to see the possibility of sharing the metric from this solution with other solutions."
"Maybe some more CPU power or something like that could be an area to improve."
"I would like them to change their business model for scalability to accommodate growing companies. The business model should be more flexible."
"AppDynamics scaled well up to around 3,000 agents. The performance deteriorated after that, while Dynatrace could support more than 10,000 agents. We were surprised that AppDynamics' scalability is not so good."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"If it can be able to intelligently provide all the things we need to look at, from a data point of view, that would be very useful."
"I think I would like to see a better way to deploy and upgrade the machine agents that we use. Currently, we have to use SCCM, and that might just be our environment with the customer."
"If AppDynamics could do a one-agent function with their actual monitoring effectiveness, it will be the greatest tool."
"AppDynamics's agent management could be improved."
